Speaking of dogs, I had to take my Bella to the vet on Monday AM. Everything started on Sunday when I heard her yelp....I was in the other room so assumed she caught a toenail or pulled a muscle chasing Lady. However, she did not eat her supper and had a hard time jumping up on the sofa. It is not like her to turn down food. On Monday morning she would not eat any breakfast so about 9AM I loaded her in the car and off we went to the Vet. $215.00 and 3 hours later, she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. She was 2 shots after being x-rayed and having her blood tested. I was instructed to bring her back the next morning for a follow up. Which I did. At that visit she was given a 2nd shot, plus a prescription for antibiotics for 7 days, intravenous fluids, and a special canned food that she could have a little bit every 2 hours until the food was gone. She is to have small meals several times a day for at least a week. The 2nd visit was only $59.00. At this rate I am going to have to get a part time job to pay her medical bills. The vet said this could be a one time thing or it could happen again. Trying to post a photo....Bella is the one that looks like a yellow Lab.
